yes, for making 1/2 and 1/3 18R track

except

I tested it with some pieces I bought and they didn't line up with my 10 and 15 degree marks

I went and double checked my model, it is still correct, the 15 degree mark is exact center of a standard 18r atlas track

I then took 3 pieces of 1/3 and joined them together (middle) and it is longer than a regular r18 track (all atlas)

it's inside rail is the same length as the outside rail of regular track

what gives?
